Knife is in like-new status.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMagnaCut Wharncliffe. Titanium scales. Frag milling. North Carolina made.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe American Blade Works Slip Joint is a modern take on a traditional format. Michael Martin CNC-machines every component in-house at his Weaverville, North Carolina shop, including the titanium scales, the MagnaCut Wharncliffe blade, and the backspring. The result is a slip joint that carries the precision of a production knife and the intentionality of a custom. The 2.25\" hollow ground Wharncliffe blade is heat-treated and cryogenically tempered for maximum edge retention, and the stonewash finish gives it a practical, hard-carry character. Phosphor bronze washers and a 416 stainless pivot deliver smooth, consistent pull strength. This version features the Frag milling pattern on the titanium scales. The fragmentation-style texture creates an aggressive, multi-directional grip surface that maximizes traction on the titanium scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote from Lone Star Knife \u0026amp; Supply: The Frag pattern is the most aggressive-looking handle in the ABW Slip Joint lineup.
